Hang your worn and torn
On My strong, shining shoulders
Ask of Me your “Why?”

Hang your worn and torn
On My strong, shining shoulders
Ask of Me your “Why?”

Who could decry humidity on hardwood floors
The delight my footsteps find in it
Reminding me the date square on the calendar grants invitation
To bear my skin today
Shoulders and toes, midriff maybe
I laugh and pirouette at the thought
Each degree of my foot’s spin lingers longer
Home on hardwood floors
My theme song
Sceaming the theme
Fire and belief
Wakes me upA 1am urge
To oil paint
Big broad strokes
Revealing chiseled flamesIn brick red
I think yes
It’ll evoke fire
Mine, the subject’sTheme song ready
Brush and canvas
Us awake now
Fire believe it
My hand on your hand on my shores
And I know if we looked
Your fingerprint on my fingerprint on your sea
